Contrary to US threats: MoD India officially approved C-400 procurement agreement

The Council on defense procurement, chaired by the head of the military department of India Nirmala Sitaraman, finally approved the agreement on the acquisition of the Russian anti-aircraft systems C-400, said on Sunday Times of India.

According to the newspaper’s “absolutely reliable” source, New Delhi is currently moving very rapidly towards the purchase of “five advanced Triumph anti-aircraft missile systems with the 400 from Russia, despite the looming threat of US sanctions.”

During the Council meeting, only a few minor amendments to the treaty were approved, which “have recently appeared”. The essence of the amendments is not disclosed.

Now the S-400 procurement case will be submitted for approval to the Ministry of Finance of India, and then to the Security Committee headed by the Prime Minister for final approval. The country's top political leadership will have to decide on the date of signing a firm contract,

said interlocutor edition.

The newspaper notes that the meeting of the Council took place a day after Washington canceled the meeting of defense ministers and foreign ministers of the United States and India, scheduled for July 6, on Wednesday night.

Earlier it was reported that in May, New Delhi and Moscow agreed on the final terms of delivery of C-400 worth $ 6 billion. The United States opposed the deal, threatening India with sanctions. However, in New Delhi, they said that they are not going to refuse to buy Russian systems that are effective against a large number of air targets, including against F-18 and F-35.

- "How do you like the boots?
- Very defiant, I would not have taken such.
- So, good boots, we must take! "

Another bastard Washington from India. But let's not rush: “approval” is not “signing”. With Indians, this is especially true.

against the backdrop of American "aluminum" sanctions, the Indians in spite of the United States not only the S-400 from us, but also the North Korean "Hwason" are ready to buy. And the Americans will not have to wait a long time to retaliate Indian economic counter-sanctions

Note, Dima: such information comes against the background of the upcoming meeting between Putin and Trump. Coincidence? Something my inner voice tells me that such "coincidences" (both with a plus sign and a minus sign) will take place in the next 15 days.

Yes, the bureaucratic apparatus is serious. This is not yet indicated those chains that have passed approval. It is not surprising that India is so stormy in procurement.

Looks like I used to propose these systems "decorated with flowers", the dances staged at the presentation "Jimi, Jimi, Acha Acha" We are still worried about the Indians! The USA and Israel will deceive them .. And then again Russia will be guilty that they did not prompt, etc. ..
But the commanders of the calculations, nevertheless, our Russians should be .. (otherwise, again, arrange combatant dances ..)))

Do not regret India, the systems are reliable!

but the meaning is, and if the answer arrives, yes there’s no armor plate

As approved, it will refuse, and then again approve. Well India! They have such a mentality. They have no news in the trade, like the pauses.

Feast of disobedience! What is going on? The shining hail on the hill is losing credibility. Stop being afraid of him? A bad example is contagious ...

[cariperpaint]

It’s just that you always have to do everything on time) I remember everyone said why China should sell the s400)

[APASUS]

Imagine which platform the Indians are blinding for the S-400 at the parade

That is, it essentially does not mean anything.

You can recall the story of the Israeli Spike.
Indian Ministry refused to approve, and then Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi overturned the decision to break the deal and approved .

[TermNachTer]

But sho, they had plenty to choose from? Or is there where to go?

The old woman did not jerk in guards' experienced hands for long.

If they arrange such dances for an hour or two around the S-400, I’m afraid it will not help them very much.

[bald]

Ask for atheism for allegedly, but they have already violated the holy things (my friend from childhood accepted the Krishnaids faith - you just can’t imagine what kind of dirt it is. I don’t blame India, but the shame on religion is HARI - KRISHNA - HAIT BUDDHISM

.

[bald]

Well, cunning - make up your mind.

[evil partisan]

A little more and in line for the S-400 will stand the United States themselves.
